    Hi,

    I can't seem to get the heatsink off in my GT627 :(

    Any advice, maybe a disassembly guide?

    Remove the fan 1st then everything should fall apart

    It's not the same in the disassembly guide, I don't see any screws holding the fan.

    Do I have to take the whole thing apart?

    you have to unplug the fan cord connects to motherboard,
    unscrew all the screws for cpu and gpu and you just push to the right a little and pull a little and thats all.

    Let me just say, it's a real pain to get the stock thermal paste off. It was like plastic.

    Anyway, cheers for the help :)

    The download keeps failing, can you please upload it somewhere else?

    I don't know how to get the touch sensor thing off (the thing with the power button). I already chipped some paint.

    I want to pin mod the PLL, but I can't even take the notebook apart :(

    moral, try again.
    I've uploaded the files again, because I found that the archive files of MS-1651 are no good. If it's not working again, send me your e-mail with PM and I'll send it to you there.
